Its a weak year and Im pretty divorced from British sports but how about giving it to someone special from a 'real' sport for an amazing performance.

Id nominate Joe Calzaghe.
Still unbeaten with 42 wins.
Concensus World Number 1
IBF, WBO World Champion
Most World Championship defenses of any British boxer in history
Scintilating and rampant victory over favoured and destructive America, Jeff Lacy. Called one of the greatest performances by any British boxer.

He has a pretty good case and with nothing much else going on why not give it to a Welshie this year

I was thinking about a boxer, but I don't think Calzaghe has done anything big enough to warrant the award this year. Then again, no-one else has.

The Lacy fight was incredible. Maybe, better than anything any British boxer has done in a decades (yes even better than Hatton-Tszyu). Seldom has an undefeated World Champion, fighing at home been a big underdog and then go onto completely school his opponent and make him look foolish. Calzaghe was brilliant against a supposed unstoppable foe.

The Lacy fight was a masterclass and was career defining. No doubt about it now. Joe is a great fighter.

Probably because 90% of the population can identify with heavyweights....
